Organizers of Norway's Inferno Festival have announced a grand opening of the IMC at the Norwegian Viking Ship Museum on Tuesday 30th of March at 19:00 featuring WARDRUNA

The band is the brainchild of Kvitrafn (Einar Selvik), who started the project of making music out of the Norse runes after he left GORGOROTH as their drummer in 2004.

Wardruna is the sound of the Norse forgotten culture and played their very first show at The Viking Ship Museum during IMC 2009. That event was held during normal daytime opening hours, and the audience was mesmerized by the heavily emotional experience.

This is the first time in the History of The Viking Ship Museum that any artist have played a gig there at night and we are all looking forward to this out of this world experience.

Tickets can be bought at Billettservice. Foreigners can order tickets on the Conference page using Paypal.
